A Correct answer
Explanation

Fungi are the primary decomposers in most ecosystems, breaking down dead organic matter and recycling nutrients. They secrete enzymes that digest complex organic compounds externally. Tigers, cats, and dogs are consumers, not decomposers - they eat other organisms but don't break down dead material.
